Looks like the big fella at the front (Kurt W W?) has crashed at some point looking at the rip on his shoulder.

Samuel Sanchez has given up already. He saw Gesinks legs and decided it was useless to continue

I think that's the second time Urtasun has gone down today. He appeared to have dropped his chain in the incident that Cancellara got caught up in earlier (when a fair few of the riders who got held up opted to answer the call of nature).

my 1st thought was hope it's not Samu, but casters were all over Urtasuns name

Jurgen Van de Walle was warning the riders behind him of a traffic island and then fell himself early on in the stage.

Yeah a bit embarrassing for him, like a traffic cop and then went tits up after hitting a bollard with one hand on the bars.

Samuel Sanchez has given up already. He saw Gesinks legs and decided it was useless to continue

but then Gesink bailed out after he saw Cadel was there

They'll soon be caught at this rate, with 20 km to go. Voeckler to attack, or wait for the final?

 

[dlwssonic]
